The Most Delicious Sugar Cookie Recipes

Sometimes I have a recipe that I can’t for the life of me figure out why others aren’t making, and that’s my Melt in Your Mouth Sugar Cookies. These aren’t your Grandma’s Cinnamon Sugar Cookies and snickerdoodles don’t have anything on them!

They’re soft, buttery and flat out irresistible. I dare you to just eat one.

Frosted Sugar Cookie Recipe

Although my sugar cookies are really good by themselves, I decided to give them a little cinnamon twist for fall. The cinnamon frosting is so perfectly creamy with just a hint of spice. They simply melt in your mouth and you will be dreaming about the lush buttercream!

How Long Do Cinnamon Sugar Cookies Last?

Once these cookies have been cooled and iced, they will keep in the fridge in an airtight container for about 3 to 4 days. Un-iced cookies can also be frozen on a baking sheet and then placed in zip lock bags and they will be good for a month or two. Bake a couple of batches, freeze half and enjoy later in the season!

Top Tips To Make These Cinnamon Sugar Cookies

• Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least an hour before baking.
• Watch the cookies carefully while they are baking, they won’t take long.
• The cookies are ready when firm to the touch and slightly brown around the edges.
• Let the cookies fully cool before icing them
